There is good news for diabetic patients in Navi Mumbai as they will get holistic care for their needs as Fortis Hiranandani Hospital Vashi launched the city’s first ‘Diabetic Foot Clinic’ last week.

The clinic was inaugurated by Sanjay Vilasrao Mohite (IPS), Joint Commissioner of Police, Navi Mumbai and Dr Arun Bal, a coveted Diabetic Foot Surgeon and a veteran in Diabetic Foot since 1984.

The centre will be headed by Hiranandani Hospital Vashi’s Dr Farah Ingale, Director of Internal Medicine along with her team.

Diabetic patients suffer from various problems including ‘Diabetic Foot’. These patients often experience reduced blood supply to their feet, which can significantly affect their lifestyle, causing difficulty in walking, and, in severe cases, the foot may have to be amputated. This clinic aims to address this issue in a timely manner and provide much-needed surgical and medical intervention. The clinic will offer various facilities that include screening, pathology, wound care, surgical care and interventional procedures.
